Man who killed 4 seeks release

A jury in Dunn County will decide whether a man committed to a mental health facility for killing four people in the Chippewa Valley should be released.

An attorney for Alvin Taylor said his client is no longer on medication and hasn't had a violent outburst at Mendota Mental Health Institute in Madison in 25 years. Taylor once portrayed himself as a "soldier of God" who received messages over the radio and TV directing him to kill four people in the 1980s.
